Engineering measures to preserve the Glass Beach Bay in the Ussuri Bay (Sea of Japan)

Abstract

The engineering activities at Glass Cove Beach near Vladivostok city are discussed. The goal is sustainable operation and attractiveness as a tourist attraction. It is proposed to compensate the reducing concentration process of the glass fractions by artificial tumbling of glass pebbles. It is advisable to highlight areas fenced off by boulders on the beach area. These “islands” will be intensely saturated with the glass fraction. The goal is to simultaneously partially limit the wave surf and access of vacationers to the glass “islands”. This gives them stability and attractiveness. There is free access to the sea coast. There is a non-standard attractive tourist point in Vladivostok.
